Here at Tri-Ko, we recognize that each and everyone one of our valued customers possess wondrously unique and varied wants and needs. We believe that services cannot be successful or meaningful with a “one-size-fits-all” approach, and this is why Tri-Ko actively promotes an atmosphere conducive to personal choices and individual preferences.
Our flexible and comprehensive roster of programs reflects our commitment to identifying and effectively supporting significantly different personalities and lifestyles… and providing a truly “person-centered” experience.
Our services include…
